    You need to spend more time in Scotland. The kirk is in terminal decline (http://www.scotsman.com/news/politic...live-1-3391152) and the typical modern Scottish idea of family isn't the same as it was when your ancestors emigrated: Scotland has the highest rate of unmarried mothers giving birth in Europe (http://www.gro-scotland.gov.uk/stati...ouseholds.html), also UK marriage rate is less than the US (which is quite high compared to the OECD average) (http://www.oecd.org/els/family/SF3_1...te_Jan2014.pdf). I'll avoid commenting on the Scottish principle of "country" due to the board rules about the referendum.
